Fast Times at Newark High

So, I've completed almost 3 full weeks of work at new high school and I'm adjusting okay. It's interesting, and at times, disheartening to see how different the schools are in Delaware. First of all, at least in the school district that I work, technology sucks! From my TV not working, to not having the capabilities to show my students power point or digital pictures, to having to check out textbooks to my students by hand. It's not very pleasant having as many as 40 students in a single class, either. The students' behavior is about what I'm accustomed to but just a lot more of it. Also, there's coaching. I love to coach and enjoy every minute on the floor ten times more than the classroom. Here, I won't even see the court until November. It's a little depressing :( On top of everything, I've already had to help break up a fight. Oh, and it wasn't just a scuffle. One girl was beating another girl to a pulp! It was wild! Hopefully, I'll be able to finish writing a grant that would get me a laptop and an LCD projector. I'll keep my fingers crossed.
